Initiative Discussion:
During the past six months, a team from the Airport Operations staff and the Building Services
and Business Licensing Division have been meeting to determine the best alternative to
achieve the requirements of the ordinance change which requires that any person who
operate a ground transportation vehicle upon the streets of the city shall first obtain and then
maintain a valid ground transportation vehicle driver's license (5.71.250). The ordinance
change requires all ground transportation drivers to have a "license" which includes among
others items, a physician certificate, reference check, background checks and fingerprinting.
Two major issues have been influencing the change from the current method of doing these
"licenses". The first issue has been the extent to which the required background checks are
done as part of this license process. Currently, the Police Department does a "Utah Check"
on applicants which is only an investigation of the applicants past criminal activities within the
state of Utah. It is significant that many of the ground transportation drivers are from other
locations and thus, are new to Utah. As security issues are tightening, especially at the
Airport, it was determined that further extensive background checks may be required. The
Utah State Legislature, in 2006 amended their Airport Security Code allowing cities with
airports to require a FBI criminal background check as a condition of providing ground
transportation services to the airport.
The second issue is based on locating the required facility and staffing increase to
accomodate these new requirements. The Police Department does not have the authority or
capability to conduct the enhanced background checks. This can only be done through the
office of the Utah State Bureau of Criminal Identification (BC!). Thus, the team determined
that there would be a requirement for a separate office and staff to provide the functions
described above allowing ground transportation drivers to obtain the necessary license and
background checks. Both the Airport and Business Licensing, looked extensively at their
facilities to determine if they had the space required to operate such a facility.
A change of this magnitude will require facility and staffing increases to accomplish the
increase in volume of drivers and the extensive nature of the background checks. After
considerable discussion among staff, it is recommended that these FBI backgrounds checks
occur annually because of the size and complexity of the City, the surrounding communities
served and because the nature of the lesser check is unsatisfactory.
The team concluded that neither of their locations had any reasonable space for such as
operation. The key factors in this decision was a lack of a suitable counter and queuing area
to handle 50 drivers per day and most important, insufficient parking for these higher number
of vehicles per day. They conculded that the office space at the foreign trade zone
warehouse would met their needs.
The cost for the BCI FBI background checks and fingerprinting will be $52.00 annually per
dirver. Using Airport data to determine the number of potential drivers that would be
"licensed", a figure of 3,200 drivers could be processed with potentially more as the program
gets underway. Taking all the costs and dividing by the number of estimated drivers' gives
us a total cost of about $156 per driver. However, it is recommended that the fee charged to
the drivers should not exceed the current $100.00 until such time that actual costs can be
tracked.
It is estimated that costs to set up an office including desks, computers, scanners,
photographic equipment, security system, phone and faxes, files, etc. would be a one time
fixed cost of approximately $32,000.00. IMS will develop all computer applications based on
current applications already in use which are similar to our requirements. This budget request
is for the $32,000 from the General Fund fund balance to set up the office space. The
effective start date would be July 1, 2007. The operating cost and revenue would be in the
fiscal year 2007-08 budget.
